Night of Lanterns in Wiltz: illuminated gardens and nocturnal magic

On 19 September 2026, Wiltz hosts its Night of Lanterns, a biennial event that transforms the castle gardens into an enchanting tableau of soft lights. Thousands of colourful lanterns line the pathways, create poetic installations and guide visitors through a timeless nocturnal stroll. A cultural programme accompanies the evening: concerts, performances and activities punctuate this magical night.

Wiltz, a small town in the Luxembourg Ardennes about thirty kilometres from Belgian Gaume, boasts remarkable heritage charm with its castle and terraced gardens. This event attracts families, nature lovers and the curious from across the region, seeking a unique sensory experience. The atmosphere remains welcoming, perfect for wandering and contemplation.

Bring a light jacket for the evening, as temperatures can drop in September. Arrive early in the evening to fully enjoy the light installation from dusk onwards. Parking may be limited: consider carpooling or check practical information beforehand. A beautiful nocturnal escape less than an hour from our Gaume gîtes.
